DeLore is advertising that a new version is coming out in August. I called the company and they're not accepting orders in advance. The rep said that if it's purchased now the upgrade in August will cost $39.95 so I'm planning to wait.

In the meantime, is it a reasonable choice if one already owns a laptop? It certainly appears to be the cheapest option that I know of.
I've tried all laptop and PocketPC based products, and not a single one of them come close to a dedicated nav unit.
